A juror in the
Johnny Depp-
Amber Heard defamation trial is speaking out for the first time — and revealing how the
verdict was reached.
Good Morning America spoke with a male member of the jury, whose identity was concealed and who spoke off-camera, and in his opinion, Heard just wasn't believable. The seven jurors — five men and two women —who reached the verdict felt the
Aquaman actress's story "didn't add up" and thought she shed "crocodile tears" on the stand, he said. They also felt Heard and Depp were both abusive to each other, but didn't think Depp was physically abusive.
"A lot of Amber's story didn't add up," the juror said. "The majority of the jury felt she was more the aggressor."
Heard testified that Depp
physically abused her and sexually assaulted her during their four-year relationship. Depp vehemently denied the allegations. His defamation suit stemmed from Heard writing about surviving domestic abuse in a 2018
Washington Post op-ed. Depp sued her for $50 million and she countersued for $100 million.
The juror said they all felt Heard's testimony wasn't realistic. Her crying, her facial expressions and how she stared at the jury made them "very uncomfortable."
"She would answer one question and she would be crying and two seconds later she would turn ice cold," the juror said. "Some of us used the expression 'crocodile tears.'" more at the jump.....
